With a closing speed of 250mph, two First Great Western HSTs pass each other at Circourt Bridge, Denchworth on 4 July 2011. 43195 leads the 1A16 12:00 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington service, while 43143 brings up the rear of the (coincidentally) 1C13 12:00 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads train. Not only was I extremely lucky with the positioning of these two trains, but also this was one of the last bursts of sunshine, before a blanket of thick cloud encroached from the south.
